Bronze wars cast stones
Drawn up to giants
In roads
Dressed in black tails and togas
Pale feather boas
Tie dye your white coats
Author's note: I wanted to write a short poem as this competition appeared on my socials stream after I posted my featured video. I thought about Greek myths and the Colossus of Rhodes while writing: history and the imagined as useful escapism. Left out when it got involved with prisms and sunbeams, succinct is sometimes more interesting. I know the requirements asked for longer, I still hope there’s a small place to feature it anyway. Is this 100 words?

All Aboard. Collages are usually patterns which are never quite finished. Despite spending hours cutting and sticking to pages, hording piles of media to sift through and keeping pockets of pictures of miniature objects, the few that I complete I like to be just that. Complete. I come back to pictures I started years ago with fresh eyes, sometimes even with a new attitude to the project: this would work better as a painting, or the colour scheme should be bolder, retouched digitally. Using these collages as art works have notes attached and stories to tell. Pop Art has its roots in the poster medium, and the work I’d like to celebrate today I would categorise as so. A happy, joyful ride along, bright and for a good cause.
